There is nothing wrong with having limited/no mechanical skills. However, you better have your other question firmly answered....if you can't do the mechanical who will do this for you? If you already don't have a mechanic who is well versed in setting up Ford engines with carburetors and other old stuff you better forget it. Yes, they do need routine maintenance and no - you can't take your Cobra to the dealership for service.
